Dear Editor,
My feet still hurt from dancing at the New Canaan League of Women Voters’ “Women Rock the Vote,” celebrating 100 years of the ratification of the 19th Amendment! (If you were there, you know I’m not lying.) The League was there 100 years ago fighting for the vote, and we’re still here today working for democracy—through our annual Candidates Debate and legislative breakfasts, Voters Guide and Know Your Reps directory, Harvard Case Method program at New Canaan High School, voter registrations, and more.
We’re grateful to our sponsors and musical talent for their support in sharing our mission in such a fun way. Thanks to the amazing School of Rock House Band; Rock, Paper, Soul; and Bad Dog Buddy for rocking the Carriage Barn for hours, and to our sponsors HTG Investment Advisors, the newcanaanite.com, Walter Stewart’s Market, and Stewart’s Wine & Spirits for making the event possible. Thanks also to Taco Tequila for keeping us going on that cold night with tasty eats from their food truck.
Elections matter. Remember to vote in every single one: municipal, state, and federal. Your vote is your voice, so use it or lose it! Democratic and Republican primaries are on April 28th in Connecticut. Vote!
Gratefully,
Micaela Porta
President, League of Women Voters of New Canaan
Celebrating 100 years of the 19th Amendment in 2020
Such a fabulous night celebrating a milestone anniversary! Thanks, Miki and all, for putting on a wonderful party!
